Bak Kut Teh...


Here we goes, Klang Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶)...

Been staying in Klang for 4 years, ppl keep asking me where is the real Klang bak kut teh restaurant is good?? Everybody saying the Klang bak kut teh 'ho chiak'...but once ppl go to Klang and search for it.. ghost.. so many bak kut teh in town.. wonder which one is good leh.. ?

Some ppl say among all the states, the Klang bak kut teh is the famous one and some say in Teluk Pulai's lagi best..
which is which..? all depends on your taste lah...

What is bak kut teh? some ppl might do not know what is bak kut teh! let me do a direct translate.. bak=meat, kut=bone and teh=tea..... Huh? bone meat in the cup of drinking tea?? hahhaha..

Bak kut teh is a delicious Chinese soup concoction popularly served in almost all state of Malaysia and Singapore too. Generally it is cooked in a clay pot with various parts of the pig, varieties of mushroom, lettuce, and dried tofu sheets or pieces (taufu pok). The soup itself is a broth which consists of several herbs and spices (including star anise, cinnamon, cloves and garlic) boiled together with soup bones for hours. Light and dark soy sauce are also added to the soup during cooking, with varying amounts depending on the variant.

Bak kut teh is best eaten with rice, and in Malaysia, it is often served with strips of fried dough called you char kueh (or Youtiao 油条 in Mandarin). Soy sauce (usually light soy sauce, but dark soy sauce is also offered sometimes) is preferred as a condiment, with which chopped chilli padi and minced garlic is taken together. Tea of various kinds (the Tieguanyin 铁观音 variety is especially popular in the Klang Valley area of Malaysia) is also usually served in the belief that it dilutes or dissolves the copious amount of fat consumed in this pork-laden dish. So, gals, dont forget to drink more tea after eat bak kut teh ya!!

So far i had tried few restaurant in Klang, SS2, Old Klang Road, Sungai Buluh, Sri Petaling..all are too commercialize already.. bak kut teh even selling in KL town with signboad written big big ' Klang bak kut teh..'

I end up with a conclusion that .. the bak kut teh in Tmn Raznah is good. The restaurant is from the branch of Teluk Pulai...something new should try out is ask them to put in the seacucamber and pig stomach in the cray pot to cook together too.. anyone wanna give a try can go there for breakfast...

Huh? breakfast? so heavy in the morning?? ya, Klang ppl eat bak kut teh for breakfast.. dont pandai pandai go to Klang in the evening or night to eat bak kut teh.. u will end up eating Penang char kui teoh in the Klang town.. hahhaha....

Got lah..Hey guys.. dont tell ppl that Klang not selling ba kut teh at night, some restaurant will still take opportunity to make money one! so u will have to go to those commercialize restaurant to eat loh!

How to get to the place?
I do not know clearly the address lah! but i had draw u all a simple map to get in there..

Basically , before you enter to the Klang town from the highway, you will see Jaya Jusco, Bukit Raja on your right, just before the fly over, keep to your left, turn left and immediate turn to your left again (U turn to the left).. then follow the map below :-

That area a lot of bak kut teh restaurant too, just look for the corner shop and the signboad... u might confius with other restaurant too.. save ur time n no need to try out the rest, i had try dee... all not as good as this shop....

So dont forget to drop me a comment once u had try ' The Bone Meat in the Cup of Tea' there ya! hahahaa...:)
